BAKERSFIELD SOUNDwaves:
Of course most of you are painfully aware of how much I hate fame, or even the thought of it. Fortune, or rather, the thought of it, has also made me ill.

In blog n roll, I supply the topic and the tunes, and you supply the talk. So now that you've heard the unplugged version of a song I plan to turn up a notch or two with a full-band arrangement in Mark Yeary's studio, and now that I've introduced the topic, it's up to you to share your...

His name is Jim Jones. After hearing his recent song about Bonnie and Buck (recorded with a little help from the great Sonny Langley) and experiencing the passion he has for country music, I wrote a song about him called The Other Jim Jones, posted here:...

As Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise. Surprise." (On TV land, folks, please, I'm not that old :)!

It was March 11, 2008. It was a sunny day on Buck Owens Boulevard of broken dreams.
I was sitting on the patio at Zingo's cafe today, at noon, feeling kind of sorry for myself over my lack of fans. Then someone came my way and his story helped me put it all in perspective. ...

What do you get when you cross post-Korn rock with Kern County Kountry? You get KROCK. This is just an example of how a new hybrid could evolve out of two distinctive sounds to emerge out of Kern County: The Bakersfield Sound and Nu Metal.

Call it poetic justice. It beats breaking rules with out-of-line name-calling and over-the-top ad hominem attacks. But poetic justice is what you'll receive if you show up under one of my blog threads (actually it's not technically mine, but you know what I mean) and raise cain,...

I don't like to repeat myself, but I'm about to, so if you've heard me say this before, feel free to move on.
